I do not understand why it is so hard to realize that I am not talking about banning political parties. I am trying to get people to NOT vote Republican or Democrat. I feel that neither candidates are beneficial for this country. All the 2 parties do is fight on their ideologies, while the American people suffer. We need to stop ascribing to political parties and vote Independent. How many times do people not like either republican or democratic representative, but vote for the one who they think is "the lesser of the two evils". We as American should vote for who we want out of hope, not fear. We can't be scared of one candidate, so we vote for the other. Political Parties vote within their party lines and screw whoever feels different. How does that sound like a democracy? The candidate should only speak for the people in their district who elected them. We can all stop voting for political parties, it really is that simple. Nobody is holding a gun to our head and forcing us to continue this madness.
